Anyone playing with Exchange 2013? I had an email catastrophe last week and setup a new server with Server 2012 and Exchange 2013. There is a lot that I really like about it, but I'm having a hell of a time getting XP Outlook clients talking to it. 7 just hooks right up. There are many posts about it, but I have yet to figure out what my particular issue is. Late nights ahead I guess.
So if anyone is using/testing it and might be able to shed some light on the subject I'd much appreciate it!
I hope you fix it soon Ken, sounds like a pain :-<
Thanks! I got that mother fucker!
There is a bug that causes any version of Outlook on Xp to constantly prompt for a password. I am going to make a blog post detailing the issues and fix. I'll post a link here in case anyone runs in to it.
108 hours last week, almost 40 so far this week. I'm fried.
15 hours a day on a 7 day week?
Fuck all that. Go home and scratch yourself.
It was closer to 24 hrs a day for 4 days and long days the rest of them. It wasn't pleasant but I usually don't sleep much.
Fuck that noise -unless there is serious money in it for you, no job is worth that bother!
He's only saying that on here in case his wife checks up on him. He's really been off banging a stripper called Brandy.
You said you wouldn't tell!
Exchange 2013 will not support any Outlook version under 2007 they cut off 2003 support in this version (its fine in Exchange 2010 though)
I am just starting to look into this my self. We might have a problem with our NetBios domain name as it has a underscore in it and you can not do a NetBios rename if you are running Exchange 2007.
What did you do to your old server?
Correct, no 2003 support. I have 2007-2013 installed here, but 90% of the OS's are still XP.
What do you mean what did I do to it? Do you mean did I throw it in the dumpster? It's still here running happily away sans Exchange.
What was the disaster you had on exchange that prompted you to go to 2013?
Not exactly sure. It seems like an update did terrible things to it. It was fragile to begin with, the update from 2003 had issues and it had been limping along for about a year. It was best to do a clean install, I just wish it wouldn't have taken so long and gone so wrong!
Ahh I see :D Exchange is a bastard sometimes. The first thing I was handed when I started in my new company was a fooked Exchange 2003 to 2007 migration that was started but never completed. All transport was going through 2007 but mail boxes, public folders and other services were still on 2003. It took me about 2 weeks in total to finish the migration and clean everything up. Now I get to tackle the jump to 2013 but I know my exchange environment is clean so it wont be too bad (fingers crossed)
Glad you got it working though.
Thanks and good luck! I migrated from 2000 to 2010 in the other department 2 years ago, took a bit but went pretty smoothly.
Having read that blog, I reckon I'll be sticking with our Exchange 2010 setup and giving Exchange 2013 a miss, looks like it was a royal pain!
